How can you showcase your skills without revealing trade secrets?

Generalize Your Approach How: Discuss your strategies and approaches in general terms. You can talk about the types of technologies, frameworks, or methodologies you use without going into detail about how they are specifically applied within your current or past organizations. Example: "Implemented agile project management techniques to streamline product development cycles." Use Case Studies and Anecdotes How: Create anonymized case studies or share professional anecdotes that illustrate your problem-solving skills and expertise. Ensure that these stories do not contain any identifiable information about projects, clients, or proprietary processes.

Ceci peut être délicat, mais il est possible de le faire de manière plus général, sans aller trop dans les détails des projets à caractère sensible. Mettre l'accent sur les résultats, l'atteinte des objectifs sans aller dans les détails techniques ou temporelles. Il est possible de donner des exemples généraux et de mettre l'accent sur les compétences.

Según mi experiencia es elegir bien el equipo de trabajo para mantener la confiabilidad de nuestros proyectos. Tanto como los presupuestos solicitados, contratos a concretar y proveedores.

Utilize visuals and testimonials to demonstrate expertise without revealing trade secrets. Have previous clients record testimonials, answering scripted questions to showcase your skills. Include clients from diverse areas to highlight breadth of experience. Conduct interviews via Zoom to guide the process and ensure quality content capture. This approach offers tangible proof of skills while protecting proprietary information.

Testimonials? People already know what the testimonials will say. "Jane Doe is God's gift to event planning. She's talented, creative, reliable, and responsive. She's easy to work with and a lot of fun. She will take your event to the next level. blah blah blah." If you are going to use a testimonial, it should be one that shares intriguing details. Example: "She will magically transform the venue into thematic paradise." Or "She knows the best patissiers in town and makes sure your event's desserts will be the subject of conversation forevermore."

Sometimes, talk is cheap. "Showing" is better than "saying." Examples: show how you can transform a venue with before and after photos. Show your attention to fine details as well as the big picture. Show an amazing array of gorgeous desserts. One disadvantage of discussing how to solve problems: you may be telegraphing to a potential client that you are "one of those people" who always has problems. Bring logo-branded SWAG (e.g., pens, silicone cellphone wallets) to your first meeting with a client, to help make the meeting more memorable.

La propuesta de valor debe estar enfocado como podemos ayudar a las organizaciones o nuestros clientes dando respuestas a su solicitud o en el caso de hacer un análisis como podemos hacer esa propuesta de valor.

Focus on the big wins you've scored—like boosting sales or streamlining operations—without diving into the how-to manual. Talk about the kinds of tools and tech you've played with, but keep it on the level of what's already out there in the open. Share how you've grown, like picking up new skills or leading a team to victory, and jump into chats about where your industry's headed. When it comes to your portfolio, pick pieces that shine without the confidential bits.
